Yamaha EZ-20 Keyboard - Tutorial
Hello everyone.
In the next 7 videos I will be showing you the Yamaha EZ-20 keyboard released in 2000 or 2001.
I have bought this keyboard a little over a month ago just for the purpose of doing videos of it, I don't intend to keep this keyboard so I will be selling this sometime once all videos have been completed.
The Yamaha EZ-20 has sound similarities to my Yamaha PSR-170 I showcased about 4 years ago, there are a few differences though, the main difference is that this keyboard has guide lamps to the keys as you play the keyboard, so this is very ideal for a beginner who is just starting to learn how to play the keyboard, this also has a ABC/DoReMi button which replaced the DJ function found on the PSR-170, also instead of multi pad buttons, multi pads on this keyboard are only restricted to playing as a background with the demo songs and chords can't be controlled with this method, the multi pads chords can only be controlled with the chords in which the songs are playing in and the multi pads are controlled by playing the last 19 keys on the left hand side of the keyboard, lastly with the differences, this keyboard has some different accompaniment styles not found in the PSR-170 and vice versa.
There is also another keyboard in the EZ range released at the same time, it has better sound quality with over 600 sounds, and it has extra features and effects, that was the EZ-30 I showcased back in 2020.
On this video, I'll be doing a tutorial of the Yamaha EZ-20 going through the functions & features and showing you how to use the different functions & features so you can get to know how to use the Yamaha EZ-20 if you have this keyboard or are thinking of getting yourself one.
I would also like to give one of my YouTube friends a mention, I dont really do mentions/shoutouts on my videos, but I promised my friend that I would do one for him.
I just want to give a mention out to George Wu, we have been talking to each other on Facebook messenger and calling each other, he asked if I can give him a mention, so to help him out, I said I will do one for him, please do check out his channled, and subscribe to him which I'm pretty sure will help him out a lot, the link to his channel will be at the end of the description of this video.
Enjoy!
